Fred,
Thanks. Beer should be there more than oncet. I have been the parts guy on several trips. Also when someone breaks something, I usually be sure to carry that part on the next trip. Also you all should carry your parts source's email /Phone #. We use our Clubber Walt Bratton. He ships by 4 pm business days and that gets you overnite what you need. We did a radiator that way and then hid the rad from the distraught member.(:>) In that event, the fan ate a few rad tubes. Amongst us all, do you think we had a pair of 90 degree neddle nose pliers??? NOPE. Had we a pair, we could have pinched off those cut tubes and solved the problem.

If I was going on a long trip solo, I would thin out some of the parts. ALso when my group travels, Ms. Sandy drives the Tahoe at the rear of the group as safety officer with flashers on and carries stuff as well.

You want a fun arguement amoung friends: Ask if a spare starter should be carried. (Beer should be involved in the thought process)
